Guest guest Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 Hi , If your capsules are the kind you can cut in half, you could try dropping to 50mg MWF and see if you feel better. If they can't be cut in half, I'd try taking 100mg on Monday and Friday to spread the dose out more over the week and then stay at that dose until you feel better. Chris.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2003 Report Share Posted January 20, 2003 Hi , Forgot to tell you to make sure you're drinking a full glass of water when you take your minocycline as you need to make sure it's gone down. It can really make you feel ill if the tablet sticks in the esophagus.
